What clients ask before booking

Will I lose control under hypnosis?+

Here in Borrowash, No. Hypnosis is a focused awake state — you can speak, move and open your eyes at any point.

Is it evidence-based?+

Clinical hypnotherapy has good evidence in anxiety, IBS, pain and habit change — it is used inside NHS and academic settings.

What does hypnosis actually feel like?+

Most people describe it as pleasantly relaxed, aware and absorbed — similar to being lost in a book or a piece of music.

How is this different from meditation?+

Meditation is generalised attention practice; clinical hypnosis is targeted therapeutic work with a defined outcome.

Is it safe if I have a mental-health diagnosis?+

In most cases yes, but this is discussed openly in the intro call to make sure the approach fits your situation.

The approach in practice

  1. Step 1

    Prepare for real life

    The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.

  2. Step 2

    Start with regulation

    Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.

  3. Step 3

    Review and adjust

    Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.

  4. Step 4

    Address the driver

    Using clinical hypnotherapy and, where useful, NLP-informed reframing, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.

What sets this practice apart

Trust in therapy is earned session by session. It is also underwritten by proper credentials: BACP-registered, CNHC-registered on the PSA-accredited register, and GHSC-accredited for hypnotherapy.

  • Clinical hypnotherapy is a focused, awake state — closer to guided attention than sleep.
  • Self-hypnosis is taught so change carries between sessions.
  • Approach is BACP-registered, PSA-accredited and integrative.
